Potter trio signed on for final two films
Potter trio signed on for final two films Warner Brothers announced in a press release today that Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint are all officially signed on for the Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows films. Each of the three actors, along with Producer David Heyman, were quoted in the release.

From Dan:
"Playing the role of Harry Potter has been an immense privilege, and I look forward to completing the series. I feel a huge sense of loyalty to the character of Harry and the fans who have supported these films over the years. During filming, I have learnt so much, made lots of friends and met people who have changed my life. I am indebted to J K Rowling, Warner Bros. and David Heyman for giving me this fantastic opportunity."
From Emma:
"I could never let Hermione go - she is my hero! I love her too much and love what playing her has meant to me. I am excited and honoured to be finishing what I started and playing her in all seven of the films."
From Rupert:
"Ron Weasley has become a big part of my life and not just because we've both got ginger hair! I've been so proud to play him and loved every second of being part of this world. I'm really looking forward to filming the last two films and being back with my 'Weasley family' and, of course, to seeing my good friends Emma and Dan. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive over the years; we couldn't have done it without you."

i think dan, rupert, and emma know that if any of them left there would be millions of angry harry potter fans! i can't believe there are only 2 more movies after this year. :(

I WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORRIED THAT EMMA WOULDN'T SIGN, BUT I SAW THIS, AND I SERIOUSLY STARTED TO CRY . . . I LOVE HER AS AN IDOL THAT MUCH!!! I WAWS ALSO REALLY HAPPY THAT DAN AND RUPERT SIGNED O TOO, BUT I THINK WE WERE ALL SURE THAT THEY WOULD ANYWAY . . . whoops, sorry bout the caps lock, i wasn't looking at the screen . . . :- /


Posted by EldestMushroom Mar 23rd 2007

ok, what has the world come to; Rupert's comment was the longest and Emma's was the shortest? There's something wrong here :) But I'm glad they're all staying on for the last two. If one of them turned it down I would have to question their sanity.


Posted by dracodragon Mar 23rd 2007

Not that I was worried or anything, but I'm really glad that they're all signed up for the final movies. They should be with Harry Potter til the very end.

If the message board didn't have an anti-stretch, some messages would've traveled half the earth by now. I can understand that you are excited just as I am, but why not scream for real rather then hold down the keys? :D I cannot wait to see the three of them in the upcoming movie and even better, the rest!!


Posted by GrownUpChick Mar 23rd 2007

Well, that's that then! Glad to hear it! And now for you haters: sorry you didn't get your wish. Oh, can someone explain the big deal about Emma's eyebrows? Just because an actor raises his or her eyebrows doesn't mean he/she is overacting. Honestly, some of you on here don't know jack about acting! If you're referring to GOF when "Nigel" delivers the package to the table, Emma was using her eyebrows instead of saying a line. She rasied her eyebrows at Ron rather than say, "Uh, Ron? Why isn't this first-year leaving our table?" I think it made for a more interesting scene.


Posted by echoreyn Mar 23rd 2007

I love the fact that all of them sublty addressed big tabloid and media issues in their official statements: Dan mentions that he loves the WB dispelling rumors that Equus caused problems between them, Emma talks about how she could never let Hermione go falsifying the claims that she was sick of being known as Hermione, and Rupert discussed his friendship with Dan and Emma making the "quotes" in the tabloids claiming that they didn't get along seem ridiculous. You've gotta love image reps!

*shrieks with delight for 5 minutes straight* EHMAGOSH EHMAGOSH EHMAGOSH!!!! I'm soooo happy they are signed on, because if Emma or Rupert hadn't have been able to stay on for the last two for whatever reason, I would not have been happy...the Harry Potter movies without those three...that is just a scary thought...sooooooo excited!


Posted by wougal07 Mar 23rd 2007

I am so happy they're coming back! maybe this is because i am so tired but when i read that i felt like crying! we've all been through so much with the harry potter adventure and dan, emma, and rupert have portrayed our favorite trio so well! i can't believe the series is so close to coming to an end! A huge thanks to the three of them for making the Potter films quite magical for all of us! :)


Posted by marygwendolyn Mar 23rd 2007

all i have to say is YAY... i hate it when people leave in the middle of series and have to be replaced by other people... they never seem to live up to the originals... ~m~


Posted by HpAlwaysN4ever Mar 23rd 2007

Yay! I just knew they would be back, but now it's official! :D


Posted by hp_on_my_mind_24_7 Mar 23rd 2007

@@@@ @@@@ @@@@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @@@@ @@@@ @ @@@ @@@ That's what i was hoping for, it was wierd when the first dumbledore died (sorry i forget names) and the new one came, because well they just weren't the same.


Posted by potterchick Mar 23rd 2007

Thank God, the movies would totally suck with different actors, it would never be the same


Posted by Jamie_Fangirl777 Mar 23rd 2007

I knew Emma would come back! Yay!


Posted by treelove Mar 23rd 2007

Oh I am so glad! I couldn't imagine the films with a different actress, I just adore Emma Watson. YAY! So happy!


Posted by Rutu Mar 24th 2007

two words: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOT YAYNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS SSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Tharr3976 Mar 24th 2007

All I can say is THANK GOODNESS they have all signed for all the films. I don't think the series would do well if one of them left. It would definately not be the same. WOOHOO!!! Let the celebration begin!!! Party!! Party!! Party!! Butterbeer all around!!


Posted by pink_allegria Mar 24th 2007

oh, it's kinda hard to imagine the movies without one, two or three of them around. =)


Posted by in2somethingood Mar 24th 2007

SWEETNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant imagine the movies without them!!!!!!!! i hope the rest of the cast stays on too


Posted by CeciliaJ Mar 24th 2007

Great, lovely, wonderful!!!!!!! :) Can't wait!


Posted by Christina0721 Mar 24th 2007

Yeah! That's really a great news → Emma backs for the last two film! ( Happy ^∪^ )


Posted by Dr_B_Shadow Mar 24th 2007

I guess Equus didn't get HP out of Dan fully. At least my dad won't worry about losing Emma. I love Rupert ever more now.


Posted by No_Idea_Why_I_Smile Mar 24th 2007

YAYNESS TIMES WOOTNESS INFINITY! im glad theyre all finishing the films, because if they didnt, it would be quite a shame, and it just wouldnt be the same at all. it would be like when one has a favourite programe, and they suddenly change the actor for one character in the middle of teh series...its just not cool...so i am quite happy that they will continue, and only hope that the rest of the Potter actors we have grown to love continue with the films as well....Good luck, Emma, Dan, and Rupert in the upcoming films, and in whatever you persue after the Potter series is over!


Posted by GREEK Mar 24th 2007

yes that's good!rupert i love u


Posted by ChoChang Mar 24th 2007

Phew...


Posted by bwof Mar 24th 2007

* Sigh of relief*. Now that´s just great! It would have been a disaster otherwise! Bring the other two films on :)


Posted by ansu Mar 24th 2007

Yay!! I'm glad they all signed the contracts! I love Daniel, Rupert and Emma.. They are the best! And also Alan Rickman is pretty fine. :)


Posted by Mare Mar 24th 2007

I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! YEA :) :) :)


Posted by iheartmugglecast Mar 24th 2007

Thank goodness all those Emma Watson rumours were just that- rumours. I'm glad they all seem so enthusiastic and that this movie series will continue to be one the the best! Good job guys!


Posted by sticky Mar 24th 2007

WWWOOOOOOOOOO im still soooooo happy about it....im gonna write to them all and tell them how glad i am......the letter will contain one word : THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL


Posted by afelicis Mar 24th 2007

That´s great! It would have been horrible if there suddenly had been different actors in the last two films...that´s too much of a change, isn´t it. And they do a good job, and the audience got used to them!


Posted by LucillaJoanna Mar 24th 2007

I'm so relieved! Just cruised by on my way to turning off the pc for the day after stressing my eyes with fanfiction and MNFF Beta Forums...and then this wonderful news! I was really depressed when those rumors about Emma not coming back were floating around. But now...I'll sit back and wait for the movies, though its sad that they're ending. Still eems too soon even though it has actually been (for the books), and will be (for the movies) a whole decade! *smile and sniff sniff*


Posted by Spungen Mar 24th 2007

Yay! I'm so glad that they are all staying. If they weren't, it'd be like going to the movies without the movie.


Posted by ValGal292 Mar 24th 2007

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Y YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhh i'm soooooo happy they are all returning!!! I was so worried that emma wouldn't return cause it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't the whole trio.


Posted by LindseyBindsey Mar 24th 2007

Hoooraaay! I'm so happy and excited right now... heheh!


Posted by The_Maltese_Fan Mar 24th 2007

That's really good because without them the movies would have been horrible now that we've grown so accustomed to them all. Even when the actor of a minor character was changed I felt bad, let alone if they changed one of the trio.


Posted by lillink1222 Mar 24th 2007

That's great! I was so worried that one of them wouldn't stay, but now there's nothing to worry about.


Posted by Hermione_Freak789 Mar 24th 2007

Posted by PadfootBaby Mar 24th 2007

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! RUPERT'S BACK!!!!!! ;) Well, I am glad about Dan and Emma, too, cuz, you know... whether they're great actors or sucky, the series wouldn't be the same without them. But still... Rupert, to me, is the only one who's been able to keep up the original spirit of his character. Ron is just awesome!!! (he's always been my favorite of the Trio, anyway, so maybe I'm just a bit prejudiced...) But anyway... HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by bravosix Mar 24th 2007

That's awesome news. Gets rid of that cloud of doubt about maybe having a new actor.


Posted by hpwiz812 Mar 24th 2007

YES! I already knew that dan and rupert were coming back but i wasnt too sure about emma!!! yay emma!
